Looking great dude!  :party:  :happy2:

The drop has done wonders for it's overall look and of course stance.
The Xenons are a classy touch, just as I found them and give the front profile a very fresh yet aggressive appearance when they're on  :evilgrin:

Cheers  :smiley:

Well, i wasn't planning on doing much in the first place but you know how it is!

On the outside i think a wheel refurb in Anthracite will be next, then a Milltek Exhaust

Inside im after a R32 / edition 30 Steering wheel, Gti Pedals, and possibly a RNS510.  Having cruise control fitted tomorrow.

It scares me to think how much ive spent already and how much my wish list will cost (no where near as much as some on here)  :scared:

I think the Xenons are my favourite mod & most pratical. They've transformed the look of the car & the difference they make for night driving  :jumping:

Like you say they just look aggresive

Thanks Gaz. Been toying with Idea of having my OZ's in white. I've not seen a black mk5 with white wheels but there's proberbly a good reason for that!

Wonder what other colours would suit the bbs'  :laugh:

I bought some Pro Valet PH neutral snow foam this week and gave it a go this afternoon.

Was expecting it to be a bit overated but im well impressed with it! Didnt take any pictures of the car before i started stupidly but you couldnt the see the number plate for salt. Once the car was covered, left it to soak for 10 minutes and then pressure washed the foam off and the car looked like id already washed it!  









Not a lot of to report since my last update other than my shortened front number plate - really pleeased with that.

Got some GT seat inserts a few weeks ago & picked up some brand new 16" steel winters - just need to sort the tyres now

This looks stunning mate, more or less what I'd have done to it given the same car  :happy2:
One of my favourite GT's.

You realise it'll stay clean for about 2 days?  :laugh: Mine had a layer of salt smeared over it in no time. Just takes one return commute and I can't tell the shade of grey it is  :fighting:

Cool steelies! Fit over the brakes etc...? Look forward to seeing these on.

Looking good mate. What steels are they? I was looking for steels a while ago but couldn't find any that would fit. Settled for a set of 16" GT alloys.
